FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This disclosure relates generally to therapeutics for treatment mediated through a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathway and, more particularly, to compounds that inhibit an adenosine receptor (such as an A_(2A) antagonist). The disclosure also provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising such compounds and methods of using the compounds or compositions in the treatment of a disease associated with a GPCR signaling pathway

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Adenosine receptors (ARs) are distributed throughout the body and are responsible for numerous biological functions. The seven trans-membrane G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been divided into four different subtypes: A₁, A_(2A), A_(2B), and A₃. The A_(2A) and A_(2B) ARs stimulate activity of the adenylyl cyclase, inducing an increase of cAMP levels. A_(2A) ARs have a distinct tissue localization, different biochemical pathways, and specific pharmacological profiles.

Adenosine is one of the human body's most important neuromodulators in both the central and the peripheral nervous systems. Adenosine is released from tumor cells and its concentration in the extracellular fluid of tumors can reach immunosuppressive levels (Blay et al. (1997), Cancer Res., 57(13), pp. 2602-5). The extracellular fluid of solid carcinomas contains immunosuppressive concentrations of adenosine. Id. This increase in adenosine concentration is a result of increases in CD73 (ecto-5′-nucleotidase) and CD39 (nucleoside triphosphate dephosphorylase) enzymes, which are responsible for directly catabolizing ATP into adenosine. These upregulations are triggered by hypoxia and the generation of HIF-1α. High levels of adenosine around tumor cells act to regulate multiple immune cells (e.g., CD4⁺ T-cells and cytotoxic CD8⁺ T-cells) via activation of multiple adenosine receptor subtypes, but particularly A_(2A) receptors, resulting in the suppressing of pro-inflammatory activities and upregulation of anti-inflammatory molecules and immunoregulatory cells (Kumar et al. (2013), Adenosine as an endogenous immunoregulator in cancer pathogenesis: where to go? Purinergic Signal., 9(2), pp 145-65 and Sitkowsky et al., Hostile, hypoxia-A2-adenosinergic tumor biology as the next barrier to overcome for tumor immunologists. Cancer Immunol. Res. 2(7), pp 598-605; Ohta (2016), A Metabolic Immune Checkpoint: Adenosine in Tumor Microenvironment. Frontiers in Immunology., 7 article #109, pp 1-11). It was demonstrated that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells upregulate A2ARs upon antigen-specific stimulation in vitro and in vivo (Beavls (2017), Targeting the Adenosine 2A Receptor Enhances Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Efficacy. J of Clin Invest. 127 (3): pp 929-941).

Survival of cancer cells is dependent on their ability to avoid attack by the immune system. In addition, tumor cells can overtake the immune system to facilitate tumor survival and metastasis. Adenosine, whose concentration increases within hypoxic regions of solid tumors, has been recognized as being able to interfere with the recognition of tumor cells by cytolytic effector cells of the immune system. (Tuite and Riss (2013). Recent developments in the pharmacological treatment of Parkinson's disease. Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs, 12(8) pp 1335-52, Popoli et al. (2002). Blockade of striatal adenosine A_(2A) receptor reduces, through a presynaptic mechanism, quinolinic acid-induced excitotoxicity: possible relevance to neuroprotective interventions in neurodegenerative diseases of the striatum, J. Neurosci, 22(5) pp. 1967-75, Gessi et al. (2011). Adenosine receptors and cancer. Biochim Biophys Acta, 1808(5), pp. 1400-12).

Although all adenosine receptors now have an increasing number of recognized biological roles in tumors, the A_(2A) and A₃ subtypes appear promising targets for therapeutic development. In particular, activation of A_(2A) receptors leads to immunosuppressive effects, which decreases anti-tumoral immunity and thereby encourages tumor growth.

The A_(2B) receptor is another potential target for therapeutic development. Autocrine/paracrine stimulation of A_(2B) expressed on tumor cells is believed to enhance their metastatic potential and A_(2B) blockade may reduce tumor metastasis in an immune-independent manner (Beavis et al. (2013). Blockade of A_(2A) receptors potently suppresses the metabolism of CD73⁺ Tumors. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 110(36) pp. 14711-6). A_(2B) expression also correlates with relapse-free survival (RFS) in triple negative breast cancer suggesting that this pathway may be clinically relevant. A_(2B) blockade also has the potential to modulate the immunosuppressive properties of tumor-associated immune cells including dendritic cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) (Cekic et al. (2011). Adenosine A_(2B) receptor blockade slows growth of bladder and breast tumors. J. Immunol. 188(1), pp. 198-205; Sorrentino et al. (2015). Myeloid-derived suppressor cells contribute to A_(2B) adenosine receptor-induced VEGF production and angiogenesis in a mouse melanoma model. Oncotarget 6(29), pp. 27478-89; Iannone et al. (2013). Blockade of A_(2B) adenosine receptor reduces tumor growth and immune suppression mediated by myeloid-derived suppressor cells in a mouse model of melanoma. Neoplasia, 15(12), pp. 1400-9.

There remains a continuing need for new therapies for the treatment of diseases and disorders related to the adenosine signaling pathway.

A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to an ingredient in a pharmaceutical formulation, other than an active ingredient, which is nontoxic to a subject. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier includes, but is not limited to, a buffer, excipient, stabilizer, or preservative.

As used herein, “treatment” or “treating” is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including clinical results. For example, beneficial or desired results include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: decreasing symptoms resulting from the disease, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, delaying the progression of the disease, and/or prolonging survival of individuals. In reference to cancers or other unwanted cell proliferation, beneficial or desired results include shrinking a tumor (reducing tumor size); decreasing the growth rate of the tumor (such as to suppress tumor growth); reducing the number of cancer cells; inhibiting, retarding or slowing to some extent and preferably stopping cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; inhibiting (slowing to some extent and preferably stopping) tumor metastasis; inhibiting tumor growth; preventing or delaying occurrence and/or recurrence of tumor; and/or relieving to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer. In some embodiments, beneficial or desired results include preventing or delaying occurrence and/or recurrence, such as of unwanted cell proliferation.

As used herein, “delaying development of a disease” means to defer, hinder, slow, retard, stabilize, and/or postpone development of the disease (such as cancer). This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the history of the disease and/or individual being treated. As is evident to one skilled in the art, a sufficient or significant delay can, in effect, encompass prevention, in that the individual does not develop the disease. For example, a late stage cancer, such as development of metastasis, may be delayed.

As used herein, an “effective dosage” or “effective amount” of compound or salt thereof or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to effect beneficial or desired results. For prophylactic use, beneficial or desired results include results such as eliminating or reducing the risk, lessening the severity of, or delaying the onset of the disease, including biochemical, histological and/or behavioral symptoms of the disease, its complications and intermediate pathological phenotypes presenting during development of the disease. For therapeutic use, beneficial or desired results include ameliorating, palliating, lessening, delaying or decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, enhancing effect of another medication such as via targeting, delaying the progression of the disease, and/or prolonging survival. In reference to cancers or other unwanted cell proliferation, an effective amount comprises an amount sufficient to cause a tumor to shrink and/or to decrease the growth rate of the tumor (such as to suppress tumor growth) or to prevent or delay other unwanted cell proliferation. In some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to delay development. In some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to prevent or delay occurrence and/or recurrence. An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations, in the case of cancer, the effective amount of the drug or composition may: (i) reduce the number of cancer cells; (ii) reduce tumor size; (iii) inhibit, retard, slow to some extent and preferably stop cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; (iv) inhibit (i.e., slow to some extent and preferably stop) tumor metastasis; (v) inhibit tumor growth; (vi) prevent or delay occurrence and/or recurrence of tumor; and/or (vii) relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer. An effective dosage can be administered in one or more administrations. For purposes of this disclosure, an effective dosage of compound or a salt thereof, or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to accomplish prophylactic or therapeutic treatment either directly or indirectly. It is intended and understood that an effective dosage of a compound or salt thereof, or pharmaceutical composition may or may not be achieved in conjunction with another drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition. Thus, an “effective dosage” may be considered in the context of administering one or more therapeutic agents, and a single agent may be considered to be given in an effective amount if, in conjunction with one or more other agents, a desirable result may be or is achieved.

As used herein, the term “individual” is a mammal, including humans. An individual includes, but is not limited to, human, bovine, horse, feline, canine, rodent, or primate. In some embodiments, the individual is human. The individual (such as a human) may have advanced disease or lesser extent of disease, such as low tumor burden. In some embodiments, the individual is at an early stage of a proliferative disease (such as cancer). In some embodiments, the individual is at an advanced stage of a proliferative disease (such as an advanced cancer).

Reference to “about” a value or parameter herein includes (and describes) embodiments that are directed to that value or parameter per se. For example, description referring to “about X” includes description of “X”.

It is understood that aspects and variations described herein also include “consisting” and/or “consisting essentially of” aspects and variations.

General Synthetic Methods

The compounds of the invention may be prepared by a number of processes as generally described below and more specifically in the Examples hereinafter (such as the schemes provided in the Examples below). In the following process descriptions, the symbols when used in the formulae depicted are to be understood to represent those groups described above in relation to the formulae herein.

Where it is desired to obtain a particular enantiomer of a compound, this may be accomplished from a corresponding mixture of enantiomers using any suitable conventional procedure for separating or resolving enantiomers. Thus, for example, diastereomeric derivatives may be produced by reaction of a mixture of enantiomers, e.g., a racemate, and an appropriate chiral compound. The diastereomers may then be separated by any convenient means, for example by crystallization and the desired enantiomer recovered. In another resolution process, a racemate may be separated using chiral High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Alternatively, if desired a particular enantiomer may be obtained by using an appropriate chiral intermediate in one of the processes described.

Chromatography, recrystallization and other conventional separation procedures may also be used with intermediates or final products where it is desired to obtain a particular isomer of a compound or to otherwise purify a product of a reaction.

Solvates and/or polymorphs of a compound provided herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are also contemplated. Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of a solvent and are often formed during the process of crystallization. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Polymorphs include the different crystal packing arrangements of the same elemental composition of a compound. Polymorphs usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and/or solubility. Various factors such as the recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, and storage temperature may cause a single crystal form to dominate.

In some embodiments, compounds of the formula (I) may be synthesized according to Scheme 1. In some embodiments, compounds of the formula (I) may be synthesized according to Scheme 1, 2 or 3.

wherein A, B and R² are as defined for formula (I), or any variation thereof detailed herein; and X is a leaving group (e.g., alkoxy or halogen).

Also provided herein is a method of enhancing an immune response in an individual in need thereof comprising administering an effective amount of a compound of formulae (I), (II) or (III), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to the individual. Adenosine receptors are known to play an immunosuppressive role in cancer biology. High levels of adenosine present in the tumor microenvironment bind to adenosine receptors on immune cells to provide an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Specifically, binding of adenosine to the A_(2A) receptor provides an immunosuppressive signal that inhibits T cell proliferation, cytokine production and cytotoxicity. The A_(2A) receptor signaling has been implicated in adenosine-mediated inhibition of NK cell cytotoxicity, NKT cell cytokine production and CD40L upregulation. Therefore, use of an A_(2A) receptor antagonist, such as those provided herein, may reverse the immunosuppressive effect of adenosine on immune cells. In some embodiments, the immune response is enhanced by a compound of formulae (I), (II) or (III) or a salt thereof enhancing activity of natural killer (NK) cells. In some embodiments, the present compounds or salts thereof increase NK cell-meditated cytotoxicity. In some embodiments, the immune response is enhanced by enhancing the activity of CD8⁺T cells. In some embodiments, the present compounds or salts thereof cause an inflammatory response in the tumor microenvironment.

The present disclosure further provides a method of increasing the activity of a natural killer cell in an individual comprising administering an effective amount of a compound of formulae (I), (II) or (III), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to the individual.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES Example B1. Radioligand Binding Competition Assay Example B1(a)

Binding of selected compounds to the adenosine A_(2A), A₁, A_(2B), and A₃ receptors is tested using a binding competition assay.

The general protocol for the radioligand binding competition assay is as follows. Competition binding is performed in duplicate in the wells of a 96 well plate (Master Block, Greiner, 786201) containing binding buffer (optimized for each receptor), membrane extracts (amount of protein/well optimized for each receptor), radiotracer (final concentration optimized for each receptor), and test compound. Nonspecific binding is determined by co-incubation with 200-fold excess of cold competitor. The samples are incubated in a final volume of 0.1 mL at 25° C. for 60 minutes and then filtered over filter plates. Filters are washed six times with 0.5 mL of ice-cold washing buffer (optimized for each receptor) and 50 μL of Microscint 20 (Packard) are added on each filter. The filter plates are sealed, incubated 15 min on an orbital shaker and scintillation counted with a TopCount for 30 sec/filter.

For the A_(2A) adenosine receptor radioligand binding assay, the following modifications are made to the general protocol. GF/C filters (Perkin Elmer, 6005174), presoaked in 0.01% Brij for 2 h at room temperature are used. Filters are washed six times with 0.5 mL of ice-cold washing buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4) and 50 μL of Microscint 20 (Packard) are added in each well. The plates are then incubated for 15 min on an orbital shaker and then counted with a TopCount™ for 1 min/well. Another radioligand binding assay used to evaluate the binding affinity for the adenosine A_(2A) receptor assay is performed in duplicate in the wells of a 384 plate. Assay buffer contains DPBS 500 mM, MgCl₂ 0.1 mM, and 1% DMSO. Membrane-bead suspension is prepared by mixing 25.98 μL of human adenosine A_(2A) membrane preparation (Perkin Elmer, RBHA2AM400UA) at 33.4 μg/mL, 28 μL of ADA at 20 μg/mL, and 932 μL of SPA beads at 3.33 mg/mL) and the mixture is incubated for 20 min at room temperature. 20 μL of radiotracer (³H—SCH 58261) at 15 nM is mixed into each well containing test articles at various concentrations and the plate is centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute. 30 μL of the membrane-bead suspension is added to each well. The plates are sealed and incubated for 1 hr at room temperature with vigorous mixing on a plate mixer. Plates are read on Microbeta² (Perkin Elmer, 2450-0010).

For the adenosine A₁ radioligand binding competition assay, a similar procedure is used except that the following reagents are used: CHO-K1-A1 cell membranes; binding buffer comprising HEPES 25 mM pH 7.4, MgCl₂ 5 mM, CaCl₂) 1 mM, NaCl 100 mM, saponin 10 μg/mL; wash buffer comprising HEPES 25 mM pH 7.4, MgCl₂ 5 mM, CaCl₂) 1 mM, NaCl 100 mM; a Unifilter GF/B—treated for 2 h with 0.5% PEI; and 1.6 nM of ³H-DPCPX as the tracer.

Similarly, the following reagents are used for the adenosine A_(2B) radioligand binding competition assay: HEK-293-A_(2B) cell membranes, 20 μg/well, preincubated 30 min at RT with 25 μg/mL Adenosine Deaminase; a binding buffer comprising HEPES 10 mM pH 7.4, EDTA 1 mM, 0.5% BSA; a wash buffer comprising HEPES 10 mM pH 7.4, EDTA 1 mM; a Unifilter GF/C—treated for 2 h with 0.5% PEI; and 10 nM ³H-DPCPX as the tracer.

For the adenosine A₃ radioligand binding competition assay, the following reagents are used: CHO-K1-A3 cell membranes, 1.5 μg/well; a binding buffer comprising HEPES 25 mM pH 7.4, MgC₂ 5 mM, CaCl₂) 1 mM, 0.5% BSA; a wash buffer comprising HEPES 25 mM pH 7.4, MgCl₂ 5 mM, CaCl₂ 1 mM; a Unifilter GF/C—treated for 2 h with 0.5% BS; and 0.4 nM of ¹²⁵I-AB-MECA as the tracer.

The results of the binding assay are given as percent residual binding at a given concentration. Percent of residual binding means binding of a compound in the presence of competitor normalized to the amount of binding in the absence of competitor.

Example B1(b)

A second A_(2A) adenosine receptor radioligand binding assay protocol was used. The protocol used adenosine A2a (human) membrane (PerkinElmer RBHA2AM400UA) at a concentration of 5 μg/well/100 μl and the radioligand [3H] CGS-21680 (Cat No. PerkinElmer-NET1021250UC) at a final concentration of 6 nM. Testing compounds were diluted with DMSO to make 8-point 4-fold serial dilution, starting at 0.2 mM. CGS-15943 was the reference compound. 1 μl of compounds/high control/low control was transferred to the assay plate according to a plate map, followed by 100 μl of membrane stocks and 100 μl of radioligand, in assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4). The plate was sealed and incubated at RT for 2 hours. Unifilter-96 GF/C filter plates (Perkin Elmer Cat #6005174) were soaked with 50 μl of 0.3% PEI per well for at least 0.5 hour at room temperature. When the binding assays were completed, the reaction mixtures were filtered through GF/C plates using Perkin Elmer Filtermate Harvester, and each plate washed 4 times with cold wash buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 154 mM NaCl, pH 7.4). The filter plates were dried for 1 hour at 50 degrees. After drying, the bottom of the filter plate wells was sealed, 50 μl of Perkin Elmer Microscint 20 cocktail was added, and the top of the filter plate was sealed. ³H trapped on the filter was counted using Perkin Elmer MicroBeta2 Reader. The data were analyzed with GraphPad Prism 5 to obtain binding IC₅₀ values. The “Inhibition [% Control]” was calculated using the equation: % Inh=(1−Background subtracted Assay value/Background subtracted HC value)*100, where HC is high control. A2a binding IC₅₀ values are shown in Table B1.

A second A₁ adenosine receptor radioligand binding assay protocol was used. The protocol used adenosine A1 (human) membrane (PerkinElmer ES-010-M400UA) at a concentration of 2.5 μg/well/100 μl and the radioligand [3H] DPCPX (Cat No. PerkinElmer-NET974250UC) at a final concentration of 1 nM. Testing compounds were tested at a final concentration of 200 nM. CGS-15943, the reference compound, was tested in an 8-point 4-fold serial dilution, starting at a top concentration of 1 μM. 1 μl of compounds/high control/low control was transferred to the assay plate according to a plate map, followed by 100 μl of membrane stocks and 100 μl of radioligand, in assay buffer (25 mM HEPES, 5 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM CaCl₂), 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.4). The plate was sealed and incubated at RT for 1 hour. Unifilter-96 GF/C filter plates (Perkin Elmer Cat #6005174) were soaked with 50 μl of 0.3% PEI per well for at least 0.5 hour at room temperature. When the binding assays were completed, the reaction mixtures were filtered through GF/C plates using Perkin Elmer Filtermate Harvester, and each plate washed 4 times with cold wash buffer (25 mM HEPES, 5 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM CaCl₂), 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.4). The filter plates were dried for 1 hour at 50 degrees. After drying, the bottom of the filter plate wells was sealed, 50 μl of Perkin Elmer Microscint 20 cocktail was added, and the top of the filter plate was sealed. ³H trapped on the filter was counted using Perkin Elmer MicroBeta2 Reader. The data were analyzed with GraphPad Prism 5 to obtain binding IC₅₀ values for the reference compound. The “Inhibition [% Control]” was calculated using the equation: % Inh=(1−Background subtracted Assay value/Background subtracted HC value)*100, where HC is high control.

Example B2. cAMP Assay

The functional activity of compounds was tested using Assay 2, below, to detect the presence of cAMP. Assay 1 is an alternative assay for this purpose. Activation of G-protein coupled receptors (such as A_(2A)) results in activation of adenylyl cyclase which converts ATP into cAMP which is used as a downstream signaling molecule. Therefore, molecules which act as GPCR (or specifically A_(2A) receptor) antagonists cause a decrease in intracellular cAMP concentration.

Assay 1: This assay uses HEK-293 cells expressing human recombinant adenosine A_(2A) receptor that are grown prior to the test in media without antibiotic. The cells are detached by gentle flushing with PBS-EDTA (5 mM EDTA), recovered by centrifugation and suspended in assay buffer (KRH: 5 mM KCl, 1.25 mM MgSO₄, 124 mM NaCl, 25 mM HEPES, 13.3 mM Glucose, 1.25 mM KH₂PO₄, 1.45 mM CaCl₂), 0.5 g/L BSA, supplemented with Rolipram).

12 μL of cells are mixed with 6 μL of the test compound at increasing concentrations and then incubated for 10 min. Thereafter 6 μL of the reference agonist is added at a final concentration corresponding to the historical EC₅₀. The plates are then incubated for 30 min at room temperature. After addition of the lysis buffer and 1 hour incubation, cAMP concentrations are estimated, according to the manufacturer specification, with the HTRF® kit.

Assay 2 (Table B2): This assay used HEK-293 cells expressing human recombinant adenosine A_(2A) receptor (or, alternatively, A₁ receptor) that were grown prior to the test in media without antibiotic. 100 nL of test articles at 100× of final concentration were transferred to assay plate by Echo. Cells were washed twice with 5 mL of PBS and 10 μL of cells were mixed with 5 mL PBS. After aspirating the PBS and adding 1.5 mL versine, cells were incubated at 37° C. for 2-5 min. After centrifugation, 4 mL of medium was added and adjusted cell density to 5,000 cells/well with Stimulation Buffer. 10 μL of cells were aliquoted to the assay plate, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute, and incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature. 5 μL 4×Eu-cAMP tracer solution and 5 μL 4×Ulight™-anti-cAMP solution were added to assay plate, followed by centrifugation and 60-minute incubation at room temperature. Plates were read on EnVision.

As shown in Table B2, certain of the compounds disclosed herein strongly reduced intracellular levels of cAMP. For example, compound 89 had an IC₅₀ for reducing cAMP levels of 58 nM in the A_(2A) assay.

Example B3 GTPγ³⁵S Scintillation Proximity Assay for A_(2A) Receptor

A scintillation proximity assay (SPA) is used to determine the kinetic profile of the binding of test compound to the A_(2A) receptor.

For antagonist testing, membrane extracts are prepared from HEK-293 cells expressing recombinant human A_(2A) receptor, are mixed with GDP (volume:volume) and are incubated in assay buffer comprising 20 mM HEPES pH 7.4; 100 mM NaCl, 10 μg/mL saponin, 5 mM MgCl₂ for at least 15 min on ice. In parallel, GTPγ[³⁵S] is mixed with the beads (volume:volume) just before starting the reaction. The following reagents are successively added in the wells of an Optiplate (Perkin Elmer): 25 μL of test compound or reference ligand, 25 μL of the membranes: GDP mix, 25 μL of reference agonist at historical EC₅₀ and 25 μL of GTPγ[³⁵S] (PerkinElmer NEG030X), diluted in assay buffer to give 0.1 nM. The plate is incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, 20 μL of IGEPAL is added for 30 minutes at room temperature. Following this incubation, 20 μL of beads (PVT-anti rabbit (PerkinElmer, RPNQ0016)), diluted in assay buffer at 50 mg/mL (0.5 mg/10 μL) and 20 μL of an Anti-GαS/olf antibody are added for a final incubation of 3 hours at room temperature. Then, the plates are centrifuged for 10 min at 2000 rpm, incubated at room temperature for 1 hour and counted for 1 min/well with a PerkinElmer TopCount reader

Example B4 Functional T Cell Assay

Human T Cell Activation Assay: Fresh human blood is diluted with the same volume of PBS and the buffy coat containing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is prepared and resuspended in culture medium at a density of 2×10⁶/mL. 2×10⁵ PBMCs (in 100 μL) are plated to each well of a 96-well flat bottom plate. 25 μL of 8× final concentration of 10-fold serial diluted or single concentration compounds are added to indicated wells and incubated for 30 mins in 37° C./5% CO₂. 25 μL of 8× final concentration of NECA (1 μM) is added to indicated wells and incubated for 30 min in 37° C./5% CO₂. Beads included in T cell activation/expansion kit (Miltenyi biotec Cat #130-091-441) at a bead-to-cell ratio of 1:6 in 50 μL is added to all wells with the final concentration of DMSO at 0.1% and final volume at 200 μL. 60 μL of supernatant post 24 hr and 48 hr incubation is collected for TNF-α and IFN-γ concentration evaluation using TNF-α ELISA ready-set-go kit (eBioscience, Cat #88-7346-77) and IFN-γ ELISA ready-set-go kit (eBioscience, Cat #88-7316-77), respectively.

Example B5 cAMP Assay

In a 96-well plate coated with anti-CD3 antibody, CD8⁺ T-cells (1×105) are cultured alone, with 3 μM of NECA, or in the presence of 1 μM of the compound of interest with or without 3 μM of NECA. The cells are incubated for 30 min at 37° C. and 5% CO₂, and the reaction is stopped by addition of 200 μL, 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. cAMP levels are determined by an ELISA kit.

Example B6 Anti-Tumor Activities in Immuno-Oncology Mouse Models

The anti-tumor activities of test articles are evaluated in selective mouse models (e.g., syngeneic model, xenograft model, or PDX) as a monotherapy or combination therapies. Using MC-38 syngeneic model as an example: female C₅₇BL/6 mice are inoculated subcutaneously at right flank with MC-38 cells for tumor development. Five days after tumor inoculation, mice with tumor size ranging from 40-85 mm³ are selected and assigned into sub-groups using stratified randomization with 10 mice per group based upon their tumor volumes. Mice receive pre-defined treatments include vehicle, test article at various doses alone, test article at various doses plus other anti-cancer therapy, and other anti-cancer therapy control. Body weight and tumor sizes are measured three times per week during the treatment. Tumor volume is expressed in mm³ using the formula: V=0.5 a×b² where a and b are the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. The tumor sizes are used for the calculations of both tumor growth inhibition (TGI) and T/C values. When an individual animal reaches to the termination endpoint (e.g., with TV >1000 mm³), the mouse is euthanized. The time from inoculation to the termination are deemed as its survival time. Survival curves are plotted by the Kaplan-Meier method. At the end of study, plasma and tumor samples are collected to explore biomarkers.

Example B7 Mouse Splenocyte Assay

IC₅₀ values of compounds for reversal of NECA suppression of mIFNγ release is determined in mouse splenocytes isolated from Balb/c mice. The mIFNγ release is CD3e/CD28-induced release. Mouse splenocytes (2×10⁵ cells/well) are activated with Anti-mouse CD3e (2.5 μg/ml, coated overnight at 4° C.; Cat #14-0032-82, eBioscience) and then incubated with serial dilutions of compounds (3 fold, 8 point dose response starting at 1 μM) in the presence of NECA (at a concentration such as 0.1, 3.0, or 6.0 μM; Cat #E2387, Sigma) for 30 min at 37° C., 5% CO₂ in an incubator (cell culture conditions) prior to treating them with Anti-mouse CD28 (0.1 μg/ml soluble; Cat #16-0289-81, eBiosciences). Splenocytes are further incubated under cell culture conditions for 72 hr; the supernatant is then harvested and diluted to 1:100, and ELISA is performed as per the manufacturer's protocol (mIFN-γ kit; Cat #555138 and 550534, BD Biosciences). Plates are read in a plate reader by measuring absorbance at 450 nm. Values for the reversal of NECA suppressed mIFN-γ release by compounds are calculated by the following formula:

${{Normalized}{mIFN} - \gamma{release}} = \frac{\left( {\left\lbrack {{mIFN} - \gamma} \right\rbrack_{test} - \left\lbrack {{mIFN} - \gamma} \right\rbrack_{blank}} \right)}{\left( {\left\lbrack {{mIFN} - \gamma} \right\rbrack_{NECA} - \left\lbrack {{mIFN} - \gamma} \right\rbrack_{blank}} \right)}$

where [mIFN-γ]_(test) is the test reading, [mIFN-γ]_(blank) is the average reading obtained from blank wells, and [mIFN-γ]_(NECA) is the average reading obtained from NECA treated, activated cells. The IC₅₀ values are calculated by fitting the curve to the “four-parameter variable slope logistic model” using Graph Pad Prism.
